Learning outcome
The course shall give knowledge about:
- Simple electrical circuits and electrical components.
- Basic digital technology and digital signals.
- Architecture, programming and interfaces for microcontrollers.
- Simple feed-back controllers such as PID.
The course shall develop skills in:
- Solve for current and voltage in simple electical circuits.
- Progamming of microcontrollers.
- Simple feed-back control.
- Plan and build simple mechatronic systems.
- Make informed choices of components, mechanisms, and control algorithms.
The course shall give general competence in:
- Development of mechatronic systems.
Learning methods and activities
Lectures, exercises and laboratory tasks, both individual and group tasks.
Compulsory assignments
- Assignments and lab
Further on evaluation
80% of assignments must be accepted in order to be given the right to take the exam.
Mandatory work from the previous semester can be accepted by the Department by re-take of an examination if there haven't been any significant changes later. By a re-take of an examination all assessments during the course, that counts in the final grade, have to be re-taken.
If there is a re-sit examination, the examination form may be changed from written to oral.
Recommended previous knowledge
Basic programming skills.
